Sharlie Converse lives a careful life. A life stamped FRAGILE: DO NOT TOUCH.

Sharlie is twenty-six, courageous, and beautiful. Born with a heart defect that has defeated a battalion of specialists, she has lived her short years from moment to moment. Everything that matters most to her--color and excitement, adventure and romance--is forbidden except in the vivid imaginings and secret longings that she has long accepted will never be made real.

Until, on a crosstown bus crowded with Christmas shoppers, she falls into Brian Morgan's arms.

And Sharlie, whom love can kill, must make the agonizing choice: to risk her life by loving or never really live at all.
